Lübeck, October 14, 2025 – Possehl Digital has acquired a stake in tenzing IT Solutions GmbH and tenzing IT Operations GmbH. With this strategic investment, Possehl Digital expands its portfolio in digital infrastructure, networks, data centers, and managed services, further driving the future viability of the Possehl Group and the industrial SME sector.
The tenzing Group, based in Lübeck, is an owner-managed IT company with a strong technical reputation. As an HPE Aruba Networking Platinum Partner, tenzing is one of Germany’s leading specialists in modern network architectures, cloud infrastructures, and IT security.
With tenzing, we are gaining an excellently positioned partner that has been successfully shaping the digital infrastructure of medium-sized companies for many years.
Together with Possehl Secure, we will leverage various synergies in the future and evolve our Security Factory into a Security & Network Factory – enabling us to offer the backbone of digitalization as a comprehensive, one-stop solution tailored to SMEs.
Michael Gentzen, Managing Director of Possehl Secure, also emphasizes the strategic importance of the investment.
tenzing is the perfect addition to our portfolio – from network technology to ongoing IT operations. Through this partnership, we are creating integrated solutions for our customers that combine security, scalability, and future-readiness.
Over the past decades, tenzing has evolved from a general IT service provider into a leading specialist in network infrastructure and managed IT services. The company supports medium-sized clients from industry, trade, and public institutions, assisting them in planning, implementing, and operating their digital infrastructure. In addition to traditional network and security projects, tenzing increasingly offers managed services and network-as-a-service concepts designed for modern, AI-driven infrastructures.
With Possehl Digital, we have found a partner who shares our passion for technology and entrepreneurship. This investment enables us to support our customers even more comprehensively – from secure network architecture to reliable IT operations.
The combination of strong regional roots and an international presence opens up new opportunities: for our customers, our partners, and our team, it means continuing our successful collaboration while exploring new possibilities. Together, we aim to keep growing and make the digital infrastructure of the SME sector fit for the future.
A market in transition
Germany’s IT market, particularly in the areas of network and security, is characterized by intense competition, a shortage of skilled professionals, and increasing consolidation. At the same time, demand for powerful, secure, and AI-ready infrastructures is rising rapidly. Topics such as digital sovereignty, data protection, and resilience are becoming increasingly important.
By combining network expertise, cloud capabilities, and cybersecurity, Possehl Digital – together with its two portfolio companies Possehl Secure and tenzing – positions itself as a trusted partner for the digital transformation of medium-sized industrial companies, both within and beyond the Possehl Group.
The investment in tenzing marks another significant step toward sustainably strengthening and future-proofing digital infrastructure in the industrial SME sector. It demonstrates how successful partnerships, technological expertise, and entrepreneurial thinking can work together when all stakeholders pursue a common goal.
A heartfelt thank you goes to everyone who made this transaction possible: the teams at tenzing and Possehl Digital, our colleagues at Possehl Secure, tenzing’s partner HPE Aruba Networking, and Sparkasse zu Lübeck for their trustful support and collaboration.
Together, we are now laying the foundation to further advance the digital future of the Possehl Group and the industrial SME sector.
